Jose Abreu

Winner of today's game gets the Cup!

At the time, it seemed like a good signing because he was going to serve as a superutility man. Then Shuck started playing well and we signed Beckham, essentially eliminating his role.

7-8-9 IMO should be Saladino/Sanchez/Flowers, not Sanchez/Flowers/Saladino.

So now our bench is Shuck, Thompson, Beckham, Soto. 2 outfielders. That's really unnecessary.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Aug 15, 2015 -> 09:59 PM) And a hockey team whose star is facing rape charges. And a basketball team who has almost 0 shot to compete with the cavs and fired an elite coach. God it's depressing At least golf should be good tomorrow I supoose As meager as things look for the Sox, Bulls, Bears, and Hawks, at least we have the Bulls and Hawks making the playoffs every year now. At least there's something.

Only positive from this game was Saladino's catch

2015 LaRoche = 2011 Dunn 2016 LaRoche = 2012 Dunn? I sure hope so.

Duke retired all 6 batters he faced yesterday

All started by a bad throw from duke to alexei

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Aug 15, 2015 -> 08:31 PM) Are there any Sox fans in attendance tonight? There's me, and like one other

Why would a Cubs fan throw a water bottle at Scwharber? Whoever it was just got kicked out.

Classless sox fan threw a drink at schwarber. Makes us look bad

And that's an earned run for Quintana...

Jeffery, Royal, Wilson... yikes. My prediction goes from 6-10 to 5-11.

LaRoche is starting at DH and batting 6th.

Should be a low scoring game due to the pitching matchup, but you never know.

QUOTE (3GamesToLove @ Aug 15, 2015 -> 10:12 AM) Not so much a rant on Shark, but... Remember when media, Sox fans, and the organization itself was lauding Samardzija as a second ace and everyone was talking about the Sale/Shark combo, completely ignoring that Jose Quintana is a much better and more reliable pitcher? Quintana gets no love. I can count on one hand the number of jerseys/shirseys I've seen at the park aside from my own. Saw plenty of "one year of control" Samardzija shirts... Agreed. I still think he should have been the Opening Day starter.

Come on, guys... you can hate on Samardzija, but it really wasn't a bad trade. We'll see how Ravelo does, but as for the others... there was no place for Bassitt on this team, Phegley is a backup, and Semien has been the worst defensive player in baseball.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Aug 14, 2015 -> 07:29 PM) Atleast go for Heyward if you're going to go for an NL bat, Upton is not that good Well, if we're strictly going after a bat, then Upton is much better than Heyward.

QUOTE (Baron @ Aug 14, 2015 -> 06:37 PM) I wouldnt mind a good HBP to start off the game tomorrow. That sure would be something... this rivalry hasn't had much drama since that whole Michael Barrett thing. QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 14, 2015 -> 06:38 PM) Previous pitch, Montero comes put to the mound, him and strop set up a pick off attempt for alexei at 2b. Problem is the 2b and SS didn't bother to cover so Alexei just stands there and gives him the Dikembe finger wag. It was great, and Strop was furious. That sounds funny. I guess Strop can't take a joke!
